Shedeur Sanders of the Cleveland Browns has already made some history after winning in his first start against the Las Vegas Raiders, but he’ll have an opportunity to add to that in Week 13 against the San Francisco 49ers.

The 49ers have been one of the better teams in the NFL this season, but with mounting injuries in San Francisco, perhaps anything is possible. At the end of the day, this is the NFL,  and any team can be beaten on Sunday.

According to Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com, there's some unfortunate history that can be made when truly thinking about all of it.

While the history would be a good thing for Sanders and the Browns right now, it just goes to show how bad things truly have been over the past few years.

Per Cabot, Sanders can become the first Browns quarterback in the Super Bowl era, which began in 1967, to win his first two starts.

“Shedeur Sanders snapped some long streaks during his starting debut vs. the Raiders, and can make Browns history Sunday against the 49ers at Huntington Bank Field.

“If he upsets the 8-4 49ers, he’ll be the first Browns quarterback in the Super Bowl era, beginning in 1967, to win his first two starts,” she wrote.

It won’t be easy.

This will be the biggest challenge of Sanders’ young NFL career. The 49ers’ defense is banged up, but that doesn’t mean they won’t find ways to get stops.
